Vorbis dev - Jan 2006 - Query: Can i develope vorbis decoder on ARM processor

Hi,
  
         I am PG student,  i want to do  project  on  ogg  vorbis as  my final
sem   project.  I want to know  wether it is possible to develope  a  vorbis
decoder on ARM.
  We have ARM7TDMI .
  
                                                                             
Regards

Yes, most ARM cores are fast enough for realtime vorbis decode, and 
implementing a new decoder is a possible post-graduate semester project 
(but not undergraduate, that's a challenging time-frame!)

Note that there already is an open source integer implementation 
(called 'Tremor') which runs well on ARM, so you do have the option
of building a more sophisticated project on top of that if you wish.

We're always happy to see new from-scratch implementations though;
it's about the only way to find bugs in the specification document.

Hope that helps,
